To me, this picture shows the general life of a southern family during the Great Deppresion. You can clearly see that this family is struggling with money. The house is falling apart, and does not look very clean. The children look young and tired, their clothes look faded and overworn. The family is probably doing everything they can, including the children having to work to make a living. But this photo also showes that no matter how hard their lives are at the time they still have each other. Family is still what was most important, even during times of the Depression. -By Bert Millspaugh

This picture is a good example of the Great Depression. First off, it shows that children at young ages were forced to work. This happened since many adults either lost their jobs, or they didn’t pay enough money to help support a family. This picture also shows that it was a tough time for everyone physically and mentally since the little girl looks tired from working in a field all day when she should be in school learning. The picture shown is a good example of the Great Depression. -Allison_e
